We are wanting to apply for the DTV via the Chicago Embassy in the US. We plan on doing the Muay Thai class or cooking class.

How many months of bank statements is needed with the 500,000? And does a bank account summary work or do I need every account printed out?

I've seen this question posted but they are older posts and not Chicago specific. Just seeing if we can apply now or need to wait a few months.

Finally approved. Applied Chicago office aug. 24. They requested more documents on 28. I submitted them Aug. 29. And then I waited until yesterday to call them, and apparently they didn’t even see my application in their system because I had applied for a non immigrant b visa in April - June.

So, if it’s taking a while, give them a call. I actually did call sometime around Sept. 20, but the phone prompt led me to believe there was no humans to talk to. This time I selected the option to speak to someone about a “tourist visa” and got someone on the phone. There was no phone prompt option for DTV visa.

I own my own company. It’s a lead gen website. I had to write a letter approving myself to work remotely. And provide a resume, which I haven’t had to have in 15+ years. I popped some commands into Chat GPT and had it spit some stuff out. Made some minor edits, submitted, approved.

Had to open a new personal bank account and transfer the money from my business account to my personal. So, no bank history. Just a print out from the bank showing the funds (since I hadn’t got a statement yet)

Anyone apply to the Chicago Embassy and only use a state background check? Sadly I have to reapply again since I was rejected by NY due to applying to the wrong consulate
